64% of people have experienced false alarms. 41% of people don't know how to silence them or are physically incapable of doing so.
GT High Performance Smoke Alarms have released technologically advanced smoke alarms ensuring the safety of our most vulnerable and families across the country.
GT smoke alarms incorporate Split Spectrum Technology that can reduce false alarms by up to 99% - particularly beneficial in high humidity regions where false alarms are more common.
An Australian first
In an Australian first – GT smoke alarms can be silenced by any existing remote control in a home – the TV, air-conditioner or other remotes. The alarms feature infrared technology that allows users to deactivate false alarms without needing to physically reach the alarm, making it safer for those with limited mobility.
For many older adults, dealing with a false alarm can be stressful and confusing. With more homes having interconnected alarms (meaning that if one goes off they all go off) – identifying the problem alarm, climbing on a chair or ladder to try and reach the alarm is not just inconvenient – it can actually be dangerous. This feature is crucial for reducing anxiety in the event of a false alarm and eliminating the need for individuals to struggle with hard-to-reach alarms.
The remote control feature allows seniors to silence the alarms from anywhere in the house without causing unnecessary stress or physical strain.
Cutting Down on False Alarms
False alarms can be anxiety-inducing – particularly for seniors and NDIS participants. GT High Performance Smoke Alarms incorporate split spectrum technology that significantly reduces the chances of false alarms in the first place. This cutting-edge technology ensures the alarms are only triggered by genuine fire threats, providing reliable safety without the frustrations of false alarms.
The alarms are capable of recognising the difference between smoke, dust and vapour. The combination of sensors means the alarm is better able to reduce false alarms that were previously caused by things like steam, dust and humidity. This way, when the alarm does go off, it's for a legitimate reason, giving seniors the confidence that their smoke alarms are both reliable and trustworthy.
A Thoughtful Solution for Today's Seniors
As Australia's senior population continues to grow, the demand for products that support independent living will only increase. GT Smoke Alarms are at the forefront of meeting this need, providing a thoughtful, effective solution that helps seniors stay safe and empowered in their own homes.
